About the Talk Pirate to Me 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Nashville
This is a pirate-themed race in Nashville with several distance options. The courses are chip timed, and the half marathon has a pace requirement, so it is worth knowing before you toe the line if you are newer to the distance. Water stations are spaced out along the route at regular intervals.
Race-morning pickup opens well before the gun, so you do not need to come out the night before. The organizers have noted they may add an early option if one becomes available.
